Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3669604, member: 1899"] Interested to see how Cleary handles himself against Crichton. That left edge of the Roosters has always been their bread and butter and once they start making in-roads it spells danger for the opposition. The middle is going to have to work over-time to ensure that Cleary is never isolated, while also ensuring that Tago has support since he doesn't make the best decisions in defence. I can see the Panthers trying to invite the Roosters to attack right and have Luai sprint off the line to buy his inside defenders time. Sydney will need to make sure they provide Manu with good early ball and play off the back of those runs. Meanwhile the Panthers will fancy their chances down that edge and will be looking to challenge Young. I can see them running a lot of formations designed to bring the Roosters up and in, with To'o being too slippery to keep out. Otherwise they'll look to return fire and isolate Keary with Liam Martin, either getting Tago 1-1 with Suaalii or give Turuva the space he needs. I think Cleary will make the difference in the end. The Panthers should control the ball better, Cleary's kicking game will be a point of difference and the Roosters will panic and play too frantic. [/QUOTE]
